ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, authentic Sicilian food and a super friendly staff! The portions here are huge, one spoonful short of family style. Two dishes, three people, no room for dessert. Get it? The atmosphere is as expected for a small family run restaurant, it's the food not the decor that will have you coming back. (That's what it's all about, right?)

Vincenzo is one of the sweetest owners you will ever meet, very friendly, outgoing, remembers names of his regulars and you can frequently see him chatting with his patrons. His wife makes all the to-die-for desserts. The waitresses are all very nice and knowledgeable about food and specials, from the ingredients to the method of preparation. Even the bus boys are some of the best I've seen! Somebody is doing everything right at this place. In Lake Elsinore?!? Heck ya.

P.S. Try salad with blue cheese and pesto on the side, then pour the blue cheese on your salad, pour oil from pesto in the empty blue cheese dressing dish then pour the remaining pesto on top of blue cheese on your salad......... You're welcome. :)

My ALL time favorite resteraunt! Nothing else compares to Vincenzo's. This is the only italian resteraunt I will dine at. They have the most amazing antipasta salad, I swear it eats like a meal, and looks like art work when they bring it out. Very robust, and hearty. Lots of meats, and fine cheeses, peppers, olives, mushrooms, artichokes, the WORKS! Excellent Vincenzo's specialty, and any baked casserole dish. You just can't go wrong here. Vincenzo's wife makes all the desserts, so dont leave without a slice of cheesecake to go!
